This might be my favorite thing i’ve seen you do yet. I have a cooktop in my island with a down draft and honestly this is a big mistake if you care at all about indoor air quality Put your range/cooktop on the wall and vent outside. I also think this kitchen is pretty but missed the mark on this issue BIG TIME. Both sets of stools have padding, but the black ones with the back are ones that you can sit in for hours and hours . THE DISHES ARE ALWAYS DONE…mostly because I’m always standing there waiting for my soup to cook, talking to whatever guests are sitting on the stools.
In Bigfork, Montana, there is a spot in a remote location where you can find three cozy structures along a sloping hill. The home blends with the surrounding landscape as they are built into the hill on one side. There is a combination of traditional and modern elements which blend together to make this home unique and full of character. Studio Noa created this design, and the new structure pays homage to its rustic history. It’s located at the foot of the Sciliar Mountain in Tyrol. In the 1850s there was a barn in the location where the home stands now.
Designing Your Dream Mountain Home: Kitchen Edition
Modernkitchen equipment in this finish enhance the industrial atmosphere. Plenty of cabinets in contrasting natural wood line the wall and provide ample storage. The best part about saving all of your kitchen design inspiration photos in one place is that you can then go back and notice patterns from the photos you saved. Pretty soon you’ll realize you are obsessed with a certain color, backsplash, or even a specific style of hardware or lighting. Meanwhile, I know there is a lot to cover so please ask all questions in the comments and if you are so inclined, please share. And if you want even more of the mountain house kitchen reveal, hop on over to House Beautiful who ran an exclusive interview and story on the space.
Polished concrete floors durable and easy to clean. The concrete living room floor matches the brown rug, couch, and off-white loveseat. Another way to bring the outdoors into your mountain home is by adding large windows in the kitchen.
Floor Plan
Just off the kitchen, a morning room is bordered by a front and back porch, and provides access to a wine room and walk-in pantry. An optional loft overlooks the great room below, or enclose the space for a fourth bedroom. The time and budget weren’t nothing and the help was extreme. So I want to give a huge thanks to Julie, Velinda and Grace for working so hard on this project.
I’m looking for this kind of modern, warm, scandi palate for my new home. I think the big star here is Ross Alan and the integrated appliances we sourced through Build.com, which you’ll learn about next week. This kitchen is a warm modern dream of a room and I feel utterly unworthy to be cooking soup in it.
What is Included in Our Plans?
When designing this house in Montana, Carney Logan Burke Architects chose to use a particular set of materials, giving the house a distinctive and unusual look. From a distance, you can see the traditional overall shape. However, modern details become more apparent as you study the building. In this example, the mountain home was designed according to its cultural surroundings.
It’s not a necessity but if it’s in your budget, it’s lovely to look at and functions so well. But I didn’t know how to make that wood work for us and have it work with the wood flooring and ceiling . All the samples that my contractor gave me of real wood just didn’t work for us – we didn’t love the tone or the look. So in the name of needing to march onward we did and scrapped the whole wood in thing. Our favorites were BS-D; BS-J; BS-M , CTW-A, CTL-1, CTL-5 (it’d be nice to see larger examples of the countertops) CTS-A. No real favorites on cabinet colors yet, since it would depend on the tile.
Whereas if it were along the window wall, I would put it off because I wouldn’t be able to talk AND do the dishes at the same time. After the doors were assembled, they were sanded down and received two brush-on coats and two wiped-on coats of a water-based matte finish polyurethane . At this point, the doors were ready to be installed onto the cabinet boxes. Image sourceimage sourceAnd then we thought we had a plan but as you can see from this post, there was a lot of design work before we even got to those final two. We also scheduled a design consultation with Home Depot. Since we were in the age of COVID-19, the consultation was virtual.
The building design is conscious of historic building design in this area. However, the home is also adapted to the needs of the twenty-first century. The design is contemporary with stylish and simple architecture, a flat roof, and expansive outdoor areas. Also, everyone has the space they need for relaxation because the public and private areas are separated.
We wanted stools to wrap around the left end of the counter so that they would be near the out-of-view fireplace. That setup would also allow the chef to sit down sometimes, and it would allow people on the counter to take in views. The main issue was that these cabinetmakers couldn’t do much for color – any color as long as it’s white or beige. So they couldn’t do the blue kitchen we wanted. Overall, they came in at $10,400 for cabinets .
Speaking of books – the shelves flanking the TV and the concrete coffee table are great reading material and memento displays. Finally, the furniture design consists of smooth, simplified lines. At first, it may seem like a neutral-feeling space, but pieces like the leather chairs, concrete and metals give it a masculine air. Her project, along with a sampling of kitchens by designers throughout the Rocky Mountain West, appears below. This is so beautiful, and fresh, and stunning that my jaw was literally dropped for half the photos.
Another big thanks to Ross and Georgie of Ross Alan Reclaimed – their attention to detail and high quality was really impressive . The faucet from Kohler is beautiful and brought in one of three hits of brass in the room . That bridge shape is just so pretty, and I love the Vibrant Polished Brass finish. That matte finish means there is NO shine, so all you see is the beauty of the reclaimed wood, and there was barely any color change from unfinished product to sealed product.
Find a local reclaimed wood dealer (or work with Ross Alan, if you’re local—highly recommended). If you don’t want that more typical reclaimed wood , they will need to mill off the top and bottom pieces to get the fresh middle. This is usually out of beams that are really thick and have been de-nailed, and then they use the offcuts for paneling or other projects.
Caviar pendant lights by Arteriors are suspended over a Sea Pearl quartzite island. The island’s walnut base complements the BKI Woodworks cabinetry and Calligaris upholstered leather stools, making the space an inviting extension of the adjacent lounge area. Throughout all the process posts I was a little nervous about the kitchen , but it turned out wonderfully. I really like that you painted the ceiling white so that the wall of beautiful wood cabinetry stands out. I would love to see more detailed photos of the glass cabinets and what’s inside. The window and door are both white oak, from Marvin and yes, as beautiful in real life as they look in these photos.
Vacations at your mountain home are some of the most beautiful and serene out there! There’s nothing quite like getting out of the city or town you reside in and resetting in the middle of nowhere.
